What were the conflicts that caused Dreamleague to have so few top tier teams?

Empire had visa issues, their replacement was Vega Squadron who also couldn't go so Basically Unknown, a team that already disbanded after the TI qualifiers and came in last place in the Dreamleauge groups went instead. Some larger teams like EG just didn't bother playing.

There's been LANs in China, NA, and EU in the past few weeks; with MLG/MarsTV being simultaneous. VP, NIP, Alliance, and Navi did go to two. As for other top teams, PR were eliminated by "Crucial Team" in the early rounds, Complexity by "EE's Disciples", and teams like London and Tinker/Mouz were not as big a deal?

Honestly, I always saw Dreamleague as a regional/EU tournament the past few seasons. EG and Liquid participated the first one, but since then it's been EU West vs EU East. All four invited teams are EU teams.

Return of the Sensei

BU was pretty much in full tilt this game, probably from throwing the last one so badly.

Most hilarious moment was Singsing casually walking past Dire's T1 mid tower, in full vision, heading alone into the Dire jungle. He ends up just looking at some camps, then dying to the entire enemy team who began converging on him as soon as they saw him walk past tower. I don't even know what he was trying to do.

:agreed:

He always goes for the pubstar super aggressive plays, which is great when they work but most of the time they don't. He died at least 3 times to NIP's counterganks by YOLO blinking into Leshrac immediately when BU's supports came to gank the lane.

never forget the best ti3 team ever:


for comparison, the best ti2 team:


was there a "best team" sort of thing for ti4? There was one for the first ti where it was just synderen photoshopped to have a long neck on all 5 members of his team at the time but i can't find it

e; found it lmao

The LGD v CDEC story never fails to amuse. I remember when CDEC was Maybe and four losers as the LGD juniors team that was so bad, then they got good, and now LGD decided to take back Maybe and bring back Xiao8/Sylar and they still get 2-0'ed by CDEC.

One of the other players was replaced at some point but that's three pubstars that somehow manage to hang in against the top of ChinaDoto.

Not really, since caster studios control the vods. You might use stuff like Dota2Tournaments on youtube, but they get shutdown sometimes.
